The New Patent Pending Quick Change Tool Spindle Front Box from Davenport Machine was developed in conjunction with Davenport customers to cut HOURS off of every setup requiring a tool spindle change.

When installing a standard one-piece box, it can commonly take one hour to properly align a tool spindle, especially a revolving spindle. The new Quick Change Box allows the steel outer housing to be aligned and installed once, and interchangeable bronze liners can then be swapped in less than a minute. Changing from a stationary spindle to a revolving spindle, or to a broaching spindle, can be done without disturbing the spindle alignment!

All the worn boxes in a machine can be replaced quickly and easily without hours of costly maintenance. When used with new 672-U1-SA and 672-U2-SA Universal Backlash Collars, operators can pull a complete spindle assembly out and replace it in minutes. No other “Quick Aligning” tool-spindle system for a Davenport can claim these improvements, and none are this easy to use, or inexpensive to own. After only 2 weeks of using this new system, one of our first customers has ordered 80 more assemblies to retrofit their machines due to the huge improvement to productivity and downtime reduction.
